Jump Rope Calorie Burn: Science-Based MET Calculation
Jump rope is one of the most effective cardiovascular exercises for burning calories with minimal equipment. This calculator uses your body weight and jumping rate to compute calorie burn using the scientific MET formula.
MET Value and Calorie Formula
MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) expresses how much energy an activity burns relative to resting. The formula is: Calories = MET × body weight (kg) × time (hours).
| Rate | MET | 70 kg · 30 min |
|---|---|---|
| Slow | 8.8 | ~308 kcal |
| Moderate | 11.8 | ~413 kcal |
| Fast | 12.3 | ~431 kcal |
Jump Rope vs Other Exercises
Moderate jump rope (MET 11.8) burns about 3.4× more calories per hour than walking (MET 3.5). It also holds a clear advantage over jogging (MET 9.8). Its small footprint makes it ideal for indoor training regardless of weather.
Results are based on statistical MET values. Individual metabolism, fitness level and jumping technique may influence actual burn.
